With everything that has been going on, it’s been hard to find positivity, let alone envision the future. This beautiful mama was heartbroken there would be no photos of her first child’s first days on earth - until we worked out a wonderful system to keep everyone safe and at a distance, while capturing these precious moments that will never come again. Their cul-de-sac was private and empty. They put out a brand new, sealed, hospital mask for me near their front steps. We spent just 15 minutes, at least 10 feet apart, on their front porch and capture over 40 unforgettable photos. I used my sharp, L-series telephoto zoom lens to get up close and personal from so far away. This little baby’s smile and his parents’ love put a smile on my face and hope in my future.

Quarantine Social Distancing Porch Portraits - newborn photography

Quarantine Social Distancing Porch Portraits - newborn photography DC

Experience your family portrait sessions in an entirely new way - from the comfort and safety of your own front yard!

In a conscious effort to keep everyone healthy and safe while continuing to deliver the high-quality professional portraits my clients are accustomed to, I've developed an entirely new photography experience: Porch Portraits

How Does It Work?

Your session will be held entirely outdoors on your own front porch so we can practice impeccable social distancing. Throughout your entire session, I'll remain on the sidewalk or across the street depending on the lens and angle we need. I only use Canon's latest professional L series lenses that allow me to take sharp, beautiful portraits at any distance, near or far.

Email me to your session and we'll coordinate your outfits and any props you might want via email prior to your session.

After your session, your high-res gallery is delivered via email. You'll receive a link and password with instructions to immediately download and share your photos. Your gallery never expires, so you can access your photos anytime. Anyone with the link and password can also view and download the photos, so your loved ones across the country or across the ocean can enjoy them as well!

Leave the Posing To Me!

My style is an unposed photojournalistic approach with a touch of editorial. I always give plenty of direction the entire time so you aren't left wondering what to do. In just 20 minutes we'll get a variety of shots of you and your loved ones, including a classic family portrait, individual portraits, just kids, couples, and more! You'll come away with a beautiful portfolio full of fun-filled candid shots and classic group portraits.

As we continue our lives in a very different way in the coming months, you won't have to miss out on documenting those special moments that make your family unique:

baby's first steps, your oldest's missing front tooth, siblings who have formed a new bond, or simply the love and care you put into your everyday life at home together.
